For the moment, best to get Hori sticks
They are in stock now

Wow, a Penang tourney! Who's the organizer, and what's the prize like? What's the date and time, because mikeeeee is in Penang now, and others like (i think) Maxwei are from there.

Like Shinjite said, get the HRAP3, it's worth it...
And regarding the save game, yeah, you're most prolly screwed if the ps3 YLOD like mine but if u wanna upgrade your HDD, juz back up your data using and external drive and restore it back later...

I entered "gameaxis.com joytron" and found some interesting bits:

For me, to know if an arcade stick is good, I:

1) Look at the outside. Is it durable or cheap looking (breaks faster)? Does the area below the buttons have enough room to rest my hands? Will the whole arcade stick move when I perform moves? Does it sit comfortably on my lap, and steadily? (this is just my preference, if it's placed on a table without moving it's fine but do watch your back!)

2) Look at the parts. Does the joystick give a smooth clicking sound for all direction inputs, or grinding sound (not good)? Does the buttons feel cheap and feels like it may break easily?

3) Via (any) internet pictures, could you see the insides e.g. bad wiring, cheap-looking components, bad soldering workmanship, etc. You don't want the stick to stop functioning halfway due to some unseen reason due to this.

If you are satisfied with this product, do give it a try. The arcade stick market is saturated with Hori because no other makers come up to their standard with CONSISTENT quality (their higher stick ranges ie Real Arcade Pro), choices and affordability.

Expert dudes here...

oh well, I guess you do get quality when u pay more. I'll grab one when I save up enough I suppose

Dude, dun wait wei...
Grab one while still in stock...

Joking la...
But dun be like me, when HRAP3 in stock rm3xx... never buy,
Then end up buying when price is at exorbitant level... add in play-asia shipping, can almost can buy 2 HRAP3 locally....
What the hell la, most important is in the end, all got stick to play SF4, money can earn back (chinese saying)

is it organised by Sony ? if not mistaken the place is CG Computer (Sony outlet) located at Queensbay Mall right ?

[WTS]SF4

nope. never knew they have such competition. the shop looks familiar coz i bought my ps3 there last time.

Who is huat168 here? This guy is good at using Zangief. Those days back in SF2, that character is just a useless meatball but now it's quite powerful & versatile. Gosh!! how SF4 evolved ~_~

It's been more than 10 years I've quit Street Fighter & now I'm back hopefully stronger than ever Those days I bought Super Famicom just for Street Fighter 2.

COME ON!!! FIGHT ME!!! Hehehe...

^ CHeck first page for PSN ids man. For all you know someone is huat168.

I think we got a number of good Zangief players around. GigatonPress and mazur1985 are ones I remember offhand.

Keen2keen also has a mean Zangief, honestly this character is considered the best throughout his counter parts. I've only seen people use Zangief in SF EX2+ (which was dangerous enough if you ask me) rarely on any other versions. Though Hugo was a nice "Big Man Who Likes To Catch" type of character

@keen2keen

Sorry for the bad line today, was doing so well this afternoon before we played. Good plays on your Ryu though
